Get a Job As a Web Developer: A Step-by-Step Guide (Udemy.com)

Honestly, I wasted my time and money with this course. I am looking at all my other courses, every cent worthed, but not with this course.

Absolutely fantastic and honest description of breaking into web development. I have experience in a related field, and I'm looking to make a switch into this area. His description and strategies match what I've heard from others in web development. I'm so glad I found this as this course lays everything out in one place.

The course is very informative sprinkled with age old wisdom on what to do regarding the dilemma of securing job interviews as a web developer. The instructor passionately handles questions such as; what programming language(s) should new web developers focus on, skills that employers value, securing interviews, handling rejection or worse not getting response after sending cv. The course also touches on bad advice and misconceptions in the social media that may or may not be true for web developers and are in most cases a set up for disappointment to those that believe everything blindly and so forth. The course offers practical solutions, tips and personal insights that are gems all based on the instructor's candid personal experiences until he found his first job as a web developer. Honestly, the principles the instructor gives and how to go about implementing them is invaluable, and can easily be applied not just by those searching for web developer job interviews but also in other professions as well. Please, go ahead and have your take! Thanks.

This course clears up a lot of confusions/concerns I have had starting to look for work as a web dev. He provides a great structure for the process of what to do, how to keep track, and press forward when job hunting. I certainly would recommend this course to anyone unsure of which direction to go when starting to look for work as a web developer, his structure and advice is right on and undoubtedly it will help me in my future efforts. Thanks!

Great course with the right combination of brevity and insight. I regret not taking this course at the start of my job search process - instead I paid a lot more money for a career coach who gave a lot of the same information about job hunting. I'd recommend this course to anybody seeking to break into the industry and become a frontend developer. There's a lot of good advice for anybody trying to break into any industry truth be told!

Great course, it only took a few hours to complete. Zero fluff and I learned a few new things that I wasn't doing before. Plus... There were a couple of things that I always knew but up until now didn't understand how I could apply them to my circumstances. Kalob showed me how this could be done, and made it very obvious that they can be applied to a lot of other aspects of my life. This for me, really was a no nonsense approach to correcting a lot of bad behaviors which I have picked up in the past by "winging it". #preparation is key Well worth it

favor honesty and easy-to-understand video sessions. very glad made decision to purchase this course. thank you for no bs and being yourself. highly recommended for novice like myself. overall, it was like having your best friend next to you who really have your best interest. easily won me over with honesty with real-world scenarios that provided eye-opening insights. thank you very much, Kalob. please keep up your awesomeness!

He got some really good points in this course. If you are a just starting out or a junior dev looking for more opportunities as a front end developer, then this course is for you. The course is super straight forward and I love how the instructor is extremely honest about all of his views on interviewing.

I've enjoyed this 2-hour course. I started last night and I got done tonight. But it needs to be practical and applicable, right? I listened to Kalob's advice. It seems reasonable. So, yesterday I made a list of 21 companies looking for web developer jobs in my town. I found that outside of HTML/CSS/JS, which is what every one will want, the most in-demand skills were jQuery (52%), Git (52%), PHP (48%) and Bootstrap (38%). I was surprised! If you Google PHP and whether one should learn it, the answers are usually negative. People out there say PHP is dying. Learn Node, learn Angular. But Node here is only wanted by 10% of the companies! Angular is at 33%! For the last year I've been working hard taking all kinds of courses to learn to become a full stack developer. I was planning on learning Node and Angular. But I got so tired and overwhelmed. I was also planning on learning MongoDB. After a while, all this becomes overwhelming. So, I cried out to God to help me because I was feeling lost. So, I believe He answered with Kalob. Now, I'm focused and I know exactly what skills I should be working on. Also, the nice part is that I've been doing a lot of PHP lately because I was building a web site for our church. I had to learn MySQL, PHP, and databases. All the while, in the back of my head I was feeling like I'm learning a dying skill. I also had to improve my PHP skills to work with Wordpres custom themes. But now I'm so glad that PHP is demanded skill where I live and I feel quite comfortable with it! I also realized that I have taken so many courses already so I have some projects under my belt. So, this morning I went and found most of the courses I've done and uploaded them to GitHub (jeremycoder). There were a lot more there than I expected. So, now I'm going to continue my list and try to get to 50 and see what the picture is like. My goal is to apply to all of them as Kalob said. I feel a lot more relaxed now because I don't have to wonder which courses I should take. But, the ultimate goal is to get a job. So, I hope I can come back here and share my experience. So far, it's true what Kalob said. You can't believe everything said online. PHP might be dying where some people live but where I live, it's still needed. I can't wait till I finish the list, create a portfolio site, create a resume, and start applying. Thanks Kalob! Let me know if I can improve my GitHub account (jeremycoder) could use an improvement. God bless you!

El curso esta bien, Kalob nos da una serie de tips, algunas que sabemos y que no aplicamos por ser de sentido común. En el global nos da indicaciones para los que estamos en este proceso de transformación de cambio de ámbito o que estamos incializándonos en otro trabajo. Lo recomiendo. Una sola cosa que le agregaria, es como manejar el linkedin, ya que podemos tener varios perfiles, y me hubiese gustado que nos indique que experiencia el tiene en ese tema, ya que muchos trabajos vienen por esa red.
